The National Monuments Service's description
In pasture, located on low rise. Slightly raised circular area (26.4m N–S; 23m E–W) defined NW–N by an earthen bank (Wth 2.8m; int. H 0.4m; ext. H 0.6m) and elsewhere by a slight scarp. A rectangular area (5m E–W; 7m N–S) has been quarried out of the SW quadrant. A field fence, on a NNE–SSW axis, bisects the interior, slightly E of centre, and another field fence, on a roughly E–W axis, abuts the rath at S.
